My new place need advice?

Okay me and my husband moved into our 1st apt together we live on the bottom floor and my grandma and brother moved on the 3rd floor. We know of one drug dealer living there that doesn't bother me. We seen a cockroach tho, and that makes me sick, the hall smells like human piss, my apt doesn't. My husband broke down and cried last night because he doesn't want our daughter living there and he wants to move. I think anything can be made better, and the apt isn't unliveable, So what should I do? I've already unpacked and put our apt together I don't want to have to pack and unpack again. I love my husband but this is ripping us apart. What should I Do

    Call the police and let them know about the drug dealer or roach. They need to step up their patrols in the area if people think that it is fine to piss by other peoples apartments. Let them know you have a child that should not be exposed to this. If the police don't do anything about it then call the local news or write a newspaper. You will be surprised at what they will do for you looking for a good story about police not doing their job. Either that or you need to pack up again and move. It would be worth it. Sometimes you just have to give in to what your husband wants and let him take the lead. If it is ripping you apart then just move.

    Your family is your home. You need to move if he doesn't feel comfortable there. If the hallway smells terrible, what will visitors think of your new place? And do you really want your daughter living near a drug dealer? No matter if the dealer bothers you or not, it's not a safe place to be. Innocent people can get caught in a drug dispute just as easily as the guilty. What if the dealer has an angry customer and your daughter happens to be walking in the hallway at the time?

    Packing and unpacking seems like small potatoes compared to the wedge it's causing you in your marriage. Make a deal that he has to help you pack and unpack if he really wants to move. If you don't like cockroaches, remember where there is one, there are hundreds more where he came from.

    Move! He's looking out for you and your family. When ever there's an envionment like that it cant be good on you, your husband, or your little one. How would you feel if one of the dealers customers broke in to your place to pay for his/ her fix. The dealer won't care were he got it and good luck getting it back. Your husband just want's his family to be safe, that's part of what his job is and part of being a man. Let him do it so that he feels safe which will save all kinds of other problems

    move out, even more so if there is a drug dealer there, you have a child. that should be enough right there to give you, your own answer. your husband is right. so what you have to pack again. your daughters safety should be you first priority.

    Not to mention the bugs, and the smell.

    Good luck hope all works out for you

    Honey, go with him on this one, MOVE, i mean come on, its not that hard to repack is it? From one wife to another who loves her man, Take the time to sit with him and find an acceptable place. Until he feels at home and comfortable, your relationship will go NOWHERE including in the bedroom.

    Its not like ur gonna move to the moon, marriage is give and take, compromise, this is ur turn to give in.

    You need too try to do something that you both can be happy and not have to move. but if he not happy than that bad you need to try and see can you get something you both can enjoy.I don't blame him who want to stay there in a stinking place look and see can you find something else.
